Drag and Drop a dynamic panel widget

#1

Hi all,

I have to drag a widget in another space in which a dynamic panel has change state.
My issues are two:

  • the widget to drag is into a dynamic panel and I can’t move only it, but system allows to move the entire panel
  • I want that the second dynamic panel changes state if the first widget is drop in its area. How can I do it?

Thanks,

Hilary

A couple of things I can add… You can make the widget a dynamic panel, as I think you can only drag dynamic panels. The set the OnDrag interaction to move it with drag…

I have solved the drop on another panel by create a “drop zone” rectangle that I “show” from the OnDrag in the widget being dragged… then on the OnDrop, you can see if your cursor.x and cursor.y is inside the dropzone object… I suspect you could just check if it’s in the dynamic panel (If Cursor is Over XXXWidget) in the OnDrop condition… and if so, do something, if not, do something else… I used the dropzone to visually indicate that the user can drop the widget on the panel, it is usually transparent, but turns a color with transparency to show it can be dropped on.

Sorry I don;t have anything I can share now to help, but hopefully this points you in a good direction.
